Recent client reviews:
Weight loss - (1) "Having been a yo-yo dieter for most of my adult life, and more recently being diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and high blood pressure I was looking for more than a one-size fits all diet, and Caroline fitted the bill perfectly. She listened to my concerns and requirements and came up with a brilliant eating plan. She was never judgemental and always available to answer questions. As much as I was looking to lose weight, feeling healthy and knowing I was eating the right things for my body was my main priority. Caroline just got that and the diet and information sheets were really helpful and straightforward to use. I have now lost 1 stone in weight and more importantly feel amazing! Thank you Caroline."
(2) "Caroline was positive, practical, non-judgemental, and willing to adapt her approach for a neurodiverse teenager, (and mum). We are both really pleased with our weight loss, and with our better undertanding of how to manage our individual weight loss without feeling deprived. We are well on our way to achieving a healthy BMI."
(3) "Caroline is incredibly knowledgeable, patient and thorough in her approach. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her."
IBS - "I had a really good consultation with Caroline. She understood my IBS problems and had obviously read my pre-consultation notes and was ready with excellent help and advice.I am sticking to the suggestions she made and using the FODMAP app and it is definitely having a positive effect. 10/10 highly recommended."
IBS -"I found Caroline extremely helpful and easy to comprehend. I also learned much about my own dietary habits…..about which I had hitherto given little thought ! I look forward to following her instructions ( which were delivered in a very non-dictatorial way ) and seeing them bear fruit …..fruit being the relevant word!"

Training, qualifications & experience
Qualifications
- Post Graduate BSc Honours in Nutrition & Dietetics (University of Cape Town 2007)
- BSc in Physiology & Psychology (University of Cape Town 2005)
- HCPC Registered Dietitian
- The British Dietetic Association (BDA) - Full Member
Since graduating from the University of Cape Town in 2007, one of the world’s leading centres of medical research and teaching, I have been fortunate to build an extremely wide experience base. My first position was in the immensely challenging environment of a poorly resourced community hospital in rural South Africa where my main concerns were conditions related to TB, HIV/AIDS and malnutrition.
In 2009, I worked for the NHS as a community dietitian in a wide variety of clinical settings and conditions, throughout the Home Counties and the Midlands, working with both adults and children alike.
This continuing experience has enabled me to build an extensive expertise and to remain up to date with the latest developments in the field of nutrition.
Since starting my own private dietetic practice I have had the pleasure of helping clients all over the UK achieve their dietary goals and look forward to working with you!
